International Journal of Surgery 2013;40(10):688-691
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the worldwide.In recent years,the development of imaging techniques has facilitated the detection of HCC at early stages.However,HCC has a high frequency of portal vein invasion,which is reportedly observed in 11% to 42% of patients with HCC.Portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT) is a crucial factor that can worsen the prognosis of HCC because it can be wide dissemination of tumor throughout the liver and cause a marked deterioration of hepatic function.It was considered that is not appropriate with surgical treatment in the past,which is treatment conservative or even give up,most of the patients died within a few months.Even if the patients have a chance to surgical resection,and the most of patients combined with TACE,portal vein stent implantation or chemotherapy postoperative,some patients can be more prolonged survival,however,due to the small tumor thrombus and micro metastases have exist before the surgery and can not be checked out.it's difficult to clean up in the surgery,easily lead to HCC recurrence postoperative.However,with the constant awareness the PVTT formation mechanism and scientific technology progress,more and more new treatment techniques is applied to clinical.This view focuses on the portal vein tumor thrombus formation mechanisms and Classic Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization and new treatment methods such as:Helical tomotherapy,CIK cell therapy (cytokine-induced killer cell therapy),Chemoembolization and stent combined with iodine-125 seed.

Objective To apply Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) in acute stroke patients and analyze the results. Methods From Novem-ber, 2014 to January, 2015, 29 acute stroke patients with multiple or single infarction accepted 6MWT. The distance, distance per minute, blood pressure and heart rate before and after test, adverse events or discomforts during the test were recorded. Weak and fatigue scores were calculated. Results The mean of distance in acute stroke patients was (240.1±17.2) m, that was (46.8±3.3)%of the predicted values in the healthy. Male patients walked (255.4±21.40) m, not different from (214.9±28.4) m in female (t=-1.151, P=0.26). The distance liked to be negatively correlated with age (r=-0.356, P=0.058). The distance was similar in each minute. Weak score was (46.8±3.3)%, fatigue score was mostly between-20 and 20, and no correlation was found between them. Blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly at the end of the test (t>2.476, P<0.05). Few of patients complained mild discomforts. Conclusion 6MWT is safe and suitable for acute stroke patients for physical mobility judgement, but adverse events need to be cared.

Objective To observe the content of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α(MIP-1α)in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the expressions of MIP-1α mRNA and nuclear factor-kappa B( NFκB)p65 mRNA in the lung of rats subjected to mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume. Method Thirty-two healthy Wistar rats were randomly ( random number) divided into control group, ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) group,dexamethasone (DEX) group and budesonide (BUD) group. The content of MIP-1α in plasma and BALF were measured with ELJSA and the expressions of MIP-1α mRNA and NF-κBp65 mRNA in lung of rat were detected by RT-PCR. The data distributed were expressed as (-x) ± s and were compared among 4 groups. Furthermore, the correlation between the content of MIP-1α and the expression of MIP-1α mRNA, and the correlation between the expression of MIP-1α mRNA and the expression of NF-κBp65 mRNA were analyzed in the latter three groups. Results With lessened lung injury ,the content of MIP-1αin plasma and BALF and the expressions of MIP-1α mRNA and NF-κBp65 mRNA in lungs of rats of DEX and BUD groups were significantly lower than those in VILI group ( P < 0.001 ). Although the content of MIP-1α in plasma and BALF and the expressions of MIP-1α mRNA and NF-κBp65 mRNA in lungs of rats of BUD group were higher than those of DEX group, but no significant differences were found between them ( P > 0.05). Correlation study showed that positive correlations were xisted between the MIP-1α in plasma and the expression of MIP-1α mRNA in the lungs ( r = 0.895, P < 0.05)and between the expression of MIP-1α mRNA and the expression of NF-κBp65 mRNA in the lungs ( r=0.801, P < 0.05). Conclusions Glucocorticoid could down-regulate the expression of MIP-1α mRNA by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB in the lungs and may have preventive and therapeutic effect to VILI to some extent. The effect of glucocorticoid used locally against VILI is simnilar to that of systemic administration with lesser adverse reactions.
